    Re: 3 noble quests for ldraw part creators - and useful ones, at that! —Burkhard Schloemer
   (...) Yeah I know - just wanted to see if someone actuallly reads this ;) Ok seriously I found the space wheel right after posting this request, hidden in the "files on hold" section. Just wanted to be sure, but lo and behold - searching by part (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: 3 noble quests for ldraw part creators - and useful ones, at that! —Steve Bliss
   (...) Yes. (...) The thing that's been holding up the updates is switching to the new licensed distribution. Since not all authors have signed into the new Contributor's Agreement, we've got to clean up the parts library -- probably by removing (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) Would it be possible to create old-complete.exe/old...mplete.zip files, and make them available on ldraw.org under the old license, so that people could at least still download the files that get removed?

     (...) All true. And we should be able to continue distributing non-CA files under the same (non) terms we've been using for several years. (...) Right.

   (...) I get the feeling that the activity at the parts tracker is quite low, too. Many parts stay there forever before getting reviewed.
